There is a thread on this forum titled "To the Airnet Punk who stole my Jumpseat". This thread is so far outside the bounds of Professionalism that it needs addressed. I'm posting this here on the Regionals because they don't seem to have this misunderstanding on the Majors Forum.
Jumpseating is a Privilege (albeit negotiated) but a privilege nonetheless. All 135/121 Companies that have recipricol jumpseat agreements have Jumpseat Coordinators or Committee Chaiman, or someone charged with that responsibility. If you have a LEGITIMATE complaint go through them. If you just want to vent... then fine... but DO NOT make a Jack*ss of yourself by posting a thread titled "To the Airnet Punk who stole my Jumpseat".... complete with company names and veiled threats. How absolutely moronic do you have to be to think this is appropriate??
This is not only immature, unprofessional, it is against the protocol of jumpseating... period. To defend this and do this is bordering on having problems with the people who are in charge of jumpseating at these various companies.
That particular thread that I reference should be copied and sent to all Jumpseat Reps and used as an example of what not to do.
I hope that this thread makes it to the Jumpseat Coordinator of his company and Airnet, as I believe an apology is owed, and the thread originator should be counselled on proper Jumpseat issue Protocol.
Folks.... don't ruin Jumpseating because you have a bad temper or use poor judgement....... or in this case BOTH, on the internet no less.

(un)healthy flame war, I come here. Every once in a while, it's actually kinda fun. Everything has its place. At this point, I'm just real curious why Angus cares so much.
